Transfer Students

Academic Requirements

As a transfer student, you will be evaluated on the basis of all work attempted at accredited institutions. A minimum college GPA of 2.0 and 12 course credits is required for admission. To find out which of your credits will transfer to Ship, take a look at course equivalencies.

Some majors require prerequisite courses or a minimum GPA prior to transferring. If you meet the criteria for admission but cannot be accommodated in your major of choice, you will be permitted to select another major or defer admission until a later date.
